Un entretien de sélection peut déterminer l’orientation du reste de votre carrière. Cela ne dépend pas toujours de vos compétences. Parfois c’est une loterie : vous pouvez à peine imaginer les facteurs qui entrent en compte. 1. L’heure du rendez-vous Visiblement mardi à 10h30, c’est ‘the’ moment pour un entretien de sélection.

David Hieatt is the Founder of Hiut Denim Co, a premium Denim label based in Cardigan, North Wales. Cardigan was home to the largest surviving jeans factory in Britain. Four hundred employees used to make 35,000 pairs of jeans a week over three decades of production. Then one day, due to an outsourcing of the manufacturing to Morocco, the factory inevitably closed. But all that skill and know how remained in the workers, without any way of showing the world what they could do. That is when David started Hiut Denim with his wife Claire as part of an effort to bring British Denim manufacturing back home, utilising the skills that were on his doorstep.

David is also the Co-Founder of the Do Lectures (dolectures.com) an annual (now biannual) event in the nearby countryside (and now California too) featuring talks, music and workshops with leading thinkers and doers: like a more friendly, down to earth version of TED, but in rural Wales. Ten Lessons from a Maker I) No one knows you exist. The Fine Art of Tough Love - Joanne Lipman. What does it take to achieve excellence? I’ve spent much of my career chronicling top executives as a business journalist.

But I’ve spent much of the last year on a very different pursuit, coauthoring a book about education, focusing on a tough but ultimately revered public-school music teacher.

We all have things that we want to achieve in our lives — getting into the better shape, building a successful business, raising a wonderful family, writing a best-selling book, winning a championship, and so on. And for most of us, the path to those things starts by setting a specific and actionable goal. At least, this is how I approached my life until recently. I would set goals for classes I took, for weights that I wanted to lift in the gym, and for clients I wanted in my business.

What I'm starting to realize, however, is that when it comes to actually getting things done and making progress in the areas that are important to you, there is a much better way to do things. It all comes down to the difference between goals and systems. Let me explain. The Difference Between Goals and Systems What's the difference between goals and systems? If you're a coach, your goal is to win a championship. Now for the really interesting question: I think you would. 1. 2. 3. You can’t predict the future.
